DESCRIPTION
Get ready for the perfect grab-and-go bolero. Comfy and oversized, this bolero is knit in one piece. So slip on those slippers and get ready to snuggle up in this cozy little cocoon cardi.

How this garment is made: You will knit the body horizontally from side to side to create a large square. Once finished, you will work some magic with two mattress stitch seams, and in doing so, create the rounded top and bottom of this cardigan. When the seaming is complete, the sleeves are then picked up in the round and worked down to the cuff.

Note: This pattern is knit flat using circular needles to accommodate the number of stitches. It is written in 3 hybrid sizes: Size A fits bust sizes 28-38” in circumference, Size B fits bust sizes 40-50” in circumference, and Size C fits bust sizes 52-62” in circumference. Choose your size by measuring your bust size and be sure to follow the correct size throughout. Model pictured is wearing the Size A and is 5’7”, 150 pounds and has a bust of 36.5” in circumference, for reference. This pattern has both written and charted instructions.

How to choose your size: Find your bust measurements below. and knit the size according to it.

Knit flat, and seamed. This pattern is both written and charted.
